burpsuite: Load a specific configuration file.
$ burpsuite --config-file=${filename}
try on your machine

The command "burpsuite --config-file=${filename}" is used to launch the Burp Suite application while specifying a configuration file.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "burpsuite": This is the command used to start the Burp Suite application.

  • "--config-file": This flag is used to specify a configuration file to load when starting Burp Suite. It allows you to provide a path to a configuration file that contains predefined settings or configurations that you want Burp Suite to apply upon startup.

  • "${filename}": This is a placeholder or variable that should be replaced with the actual name or path of the configuration file you want to use. You need to provide the name of the file after the equal sign, without any spaces. For example, if your configuration file is named "config.burp", the command would be "burpsuite --config-file=config.burp".

By using this command, you can launch Burp Suite with specific configurations, enabling you to automate certain settings or use predefined configurations without manually configuring them each time you start the application.
